I have one of my all-time favs back on the podcast today, my functional medicine doctor, Dr. St. Petery! She has been such a huge support to me in my journey towards health and longevity that I just want to share her wisdom with everyone!
What is a functional medicine doctor?
For those wondering, a functional medicine doctor takes a different approach to medicine. They work to get to the root cause of issues by asking questions and seeking to understand where the problem stems from so they can treat that directly. The catch is, if you want to see real success with functional medicine, you have to look at your lifestyle and make changes that will support health. Pills and quick fixes are not the way of functional medicine.
